<div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div>Just to add to what Rene has said, don't be put off if you don't have in depth experience of pygame already. I only installed it recently and have been going through some of the <a href="http://www.pygame.org/wiki/tutorials">online tutorials</a> & <a href="http://pyweek.org/all_games/">previous pyweek entries</a>. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); ">For me it's great to have a fixed deadline where I have to make time & learn something quickly, before the challenge begins. T<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial; font-size: small; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); ">hen the actual week of coding, t</span>he <a href="http://pyweek.org/s/rules/">idea</a> being "<span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:rgb(33, 33, 33)">Must be challenging and fun" and "Will let a lot of people actually finish a game".</span></span></span><div>

Seriously though, we don't have a set game idea or even a game type yet, so if any of the above sounds like fun, let us know and come create a game in a week!</font></div>

Tom Viner and I started chatting about pyweek at the last code dojo,<br>
and then decided to start a pyweek team. We're wondering if anyone<br>
else from the london python code dojo would like to join our team?<br>
<br>
Here's our pyweek entry page:<br>
<a href="http://www.pyweek.org/e/ldnpydojo/" target="_blank">http://www.pyweek.org/e/ldnpydojo/</a><br>
<br>
Here's the pyweek web page for those interested in finding out more about it:<br>
<a href="http://www.pyweek.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pyweek.org/</a><br>
<br>
<br>
It starts in 19 days, 7 hours, and 57 minutes from... NOW, and goes for a week.<br>
<br>
So, if anyone wants to join us, please email me, or email Tom.<br>
Otherwise you can chat to us about it at the next dojo if you want.<br>
<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
